AIRPONG!!!

Can someone make this for me? I promise to play it all the time!

So it’s simple, see, the game uses the camera to see whats it in front of it as a playable surface area. Once it has skinned the landscape in front of it you, it’s time to set the pong into play. The screen on the other side shows what the camera sees and inserts a 3D puck/ball. The phone then becomes a paddle to hit the puck back at objects. Using the phones accelerometer, compass, etc it knows how the phone hit the 3D ball and its next trajectory…. blah, blah, blah… and add a dash of gravity.

Object is to not let the puck hit the ground and bounce it off everything around you (e.g. walls, park benches, persons head in front of you on the bus) = fun times.

*Update*  -Screw using your phone as a paddle, use what ever you want if the space where the virtual puck gets covered == hit.
